Today is 8th month 14th day of the lunar calendar.
Assisi Hospice had a little mid-Autum festival party this time last year. for their patients. The little garden was decorated with lanterns and tea lights. Mama was quite well that day. Se sat through the whole celebration.
She had a good time singing with the nurses. Mama loves songs. I believe Mama is singing with the angels in Heaven now.
Mama, I miss you!

Holding Together
This evening, our family went to Bottle Tree Park for dinner. We met at Katib MRT station and took a 10 mins walk to the Park.
I gave a treat because I had my bonus. I just want to share my blessing and also wanted to take the opportunity for a family togethering. There is nothing much my family could do together except maybe to eat. The dinner was so so only but the fellowship we had was important.
Previously, mama was the center of gravity. She held everything together and all revolved around her. Since mama is gone, I think I will have to step in to take the position. I may not be the borned 'gravitation force' but I will try as much as possible to hold them together.

For what is your life?
I am not able to fell asleep again tonight. Thinking of mama and missing her greatly.
The emotion is choking me.
The Lord should know how difficult it will be for us when He took her home. But He choose to do it. What has He got in mind? Why is this thee best plan for me? What kind of good will this do of me / us?
The truth will reveal when we meet Him. Setting my eyes upon eternity.
James 4:14 For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

On 16 Aug 06, Dr P told us that she only has 10 % chance of recovery during family conference. I cried. Mama was experiencing great pain the night before. Aunt Ling and uncle chong were at the ward with her over night.
Mama had oral chemo from 15 Aug 06 to 22 Aug 06. Dr P decided to give the last shot and give her a strong drug through IV when the oral chemo did not work.
On 21 Aug, Dr P witnessed to Papa at his ward (papa was warded for heart / hypertension on 18 Aug) and mama at hers. He gave her a Billy Graham book. I saw mama signature on the sinner prayer. The next day, Dr Poon told Wai that mama might only have 1week left.
The IV chemo started on 23nd Aug. On 25 Aug, mama had headache and she told me that she woke up with a strange feeling. She said she scolded the nurse for the 'mess' they had created.
Dr P suspected that she had brain bleeding. I went to mama, pull the curtain and cried. I told her to call upon Jesus. First she said, ' for you, i'll do it" But I told her no, not for me. She agreed and said let's pray. She turned to papa and said,"I am going to become a christian." Papa said "ok, as you wish". We prayed the sinner prayer.
I asked mama if her still want to buddhist bead on her. She took it off.
